2023: The Beginning & Foundations
 

The club was formed in 2023 by a small group of passionate Ford Zephyr, Zodiac, and Consul enthusiasts who wanted a relaxed, welcoming place to enjoy their cars, share knowledge, and connect with like minded people. From the very beginning, the focus was on inclusivity, friendship, and getting the cars out on the road.

 

As the club took shape, early discussions around structure, governance, and long term direction laid the groundwork for the club’s later decision to formally incorporate and adopt a name that clearly reflected the Ford heritage of the vehicles we represent.

 

2024: Growth & Community
 

Throughout 2024, membership grew steadily across Victoria and interstate. Regular club runs, show and shine events, and social gatherings became a key part of the calendar. The club built a strong presence at events such as Cars & Coffee and All Ford Day, earning a reputation for its friendly atmosphere, welcoming culture, and diverse range of Zephyrs, Zodiacs, and Consuls.

 

Community involvement and charity support also became an important part of the club’s identity.

 

2025: A Year of Milestones
 

2025 was a defining year for the club, marked by major events, strong community involvement, and an important step in the club’s identity.
